Uniden Announces Two New Scanners

On Saturday, November 16, Uniden announced two new flagship scanners – a hand held and a mobile – along with a companion app that will allow you to listen and control the mobile scanner with a computer/tablet/smart phone via the Internet/WiFi. Both will do P25 Phase 1 and 2 digital, be front panel programmable as well load frequencies by Zip Code, have an SD card slot for recording audio and much more.

The hand held scanner will have a suggested retail price of $499 and the mobile will be $599. Both models will be available in January, 2014.

BCD436HP

The BCD436HP is the first scanner to incorporate the HomePatrol-1’s ease of use in a traditional handheld scanner. Simply enter your zip code, and the BCD436HP will quickly select and scan channels in your local area. Here is a quick rundown of the BCD436HP’s major features.

Rugged construction with Rubber Side and Bottom Impact areas to improve impact resistance.

Printed manual in the box with online updates.

BCD546HP

TheBCD536HP is Uniden’s new flagship mobile scanner…which incorporates two firsts. Like the BCD436HP, it is the first standard mobile scanner to include the ease of use of the HomePatrol-style database; simply enter your zip code and away you go. But, the BCD536HP adds to that WiFi connectivity, allowing you to listen to and control your scanner using your smartphone or tablet…from anywhere in your home, vehicle, or around the world.

Siren App

Uniden’s Siren App is the first-ever app that allows you to directly control and listen to your scanner. Connect the BCD536HP in infrastructure mode to your home’s wireless access point and access it using your smartphone or tablet from anywhere in your house…or anywhere in the world where you have an internet connection.

Or, set the BCD536HP to operate as an access point, and use your smartphone or tablet as a remote head, even when you are away from other internet connections.

The Uniden Siren app gives you freedom like never before to roam around your house or around the country, while still keeping completely in touch with and in control of your scanner. We are still working on this exciting development, so stay tuned for more information before product release.
